A Mouse Amoung the Money Trees

Anyone else feel like the electronics are taking over? I'm forced to sit and stare at an inanimate computer screen on a daily, 7 hour basis, while my mouse plays games on me, deciding at the most inopportune moment, that it's going to shut itself off, laughing in my face as I struggle to minimize the Internet porn sight that I have open on my desktop while sales people are pouring into my office. Actually, I don't look at Internet porn - especially not at work. I'm not that stupid. I only look at dog sites. And no one really pours into my office - I try to make it as inhospitable as possible. But the mouse teases and taunts me, flickering it's little red light in my face ... isn't that a laser beam or something, that could destroy your vision with even an inadvertent glace in it's direction? My mouse at home is much more forgiving with me, never gives me any issues, doesn't turn off at odd times, doesn't try to burn my eyes out and never talks back. Oh, but to go back to pencils, pens, erasers and paper. Computers and other electronics can be bad for your health, or so they say. As far as I know, pencils do not cause cancer, and they're not bright enough to take over.
